Docker on Windows

Learn how to run new and old Windows applications in Docker containers.

About This Book

• Package traditional .NET Frameworks apps and new .NET Core apps as Docker images, and run them in containers for increased efficiency, portability, and security
• Design and implement distributed applications that run across connected containers, using enterprise-grade open source software from public Docker images
• Build a full Continuous Deployment pipeline for a .NET Framework application, and deploy it to a highly-available Docker swarm running in the cloud

Who This Book Is For

If you want to modernize an old monolithic application without rewriting it, smooth the deployment to production, or move to DevOps or the cloud, then Docker is the enabler for you. This book gives you a solid grounding in Docker so you can confidently approach all of these scenarios.

What You Will Learn

• Comprehend key Docker concepts: images, containers, registries, and swarms
• Run Docker on Windows 10, Windows Server 2016, and in the cloud
• Deploy and monitor distributed solutions across multiple Docker containers
• Run containers with high availability and fail-over with Docker Swarm
• Master security in-depth with the Docker platform, making your apps more secure
• Build a Continuous Deployment pipeline by running Jenkins in Docker
• Debug applications running in Docker containers using Visual Studio
• Plan the adoption of Docker in your own organization

In Detail

Docker is a platform for running server applications in lightweight units called containers. You can
